Just signed up, very nice site TechSpot! I will definitely be coming back daily to read tech news here.
I've been looking to get a laptop for some time now, saving up for the right moment and fast hardware. Unfortunately I have no laptop at all, and now that I'm in the Austin area, I have no good computer to easily be able to take to my family when I visit on weekends (they live in Houston and some up in Wisconsin). They can't afford to purchase a computer for me there, so I end up borrowing someone else's. Having my own laptop on the bus ride alone would be wonderful.
Aside from the laptop, I have a 22" LCD (Dell E228WFP) for my computer at home. One of the very first LCDs that came to the market! Bought it at a kiosk in a mall, still remember the day. I think that was in 2006 or 2007 if I remember correctly. The computer itself is not anywhere near that old thankfully, but the last major upgrade was 2-3 years ago. The monitor works still, 'gets the job done' you could say, but I think the colors are starting to shift or something. Not sure what is going on, but no matter what I do, I can't seem to adjust it to anywhere near what I see on some of these new computer monitors at places like Best Buy.
Anyway, enough rambling, happy to be here all! Cheers.
